Trump will not accept an invitation to appear before a grand jury investigating a 'hush money' payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

Former President Donald Trump will not accept an invitation to appear before a Manhattan grand jury investigating a"hush money" payment allegedly made on his behalf days before the 2016 election.

"He won't be participating in that proceeding — a proceeding that we and most election law experts believe is with absolutely no legal merit,"The potential case was described by former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz in his recent memoir as"novel" and untested.

Sources familiar with Trump's legal team's deliberations told CBS News they expect an indictment is coming. In his memoir"Disloyal," Cohen described wiring the money through a newly-created limited liability company. Cohen and Daniels have claimed she and Trump signed a non-disclosure agreement using the aliases David Dennison and Peggy Peterson.

Witch hunt like always, President Trump is innocent!

They just checked another box before he’s indicted. Eliminated the opportunity for the accused to say after the fact that he could have explained this away.

Witch hunt.

Donald should demand immunity for testifying

Good for him. This nothing but a waste of time and money. It's doesn't matter if he did it. This level of pettiness is pathetic and ppl behind this should be ashamed of themselves.

The cities are much better since Joe took over. Thank God Alvin Bragg is a just, attentive DA. I heard Lori Lightfoot is going to run for mayor of NYC and, if she doesn't make it, Philly or maybe Lansing, MI. C'mon, we need these people to thwack the white evildoers.

Why would he?

Get over it.

Dems suck. This is getting tired

Idiots

China good. Pfizer good. Ukraine Nazis good. Trump bad.

Does CBS call non disclosure agreements they enter into “hush money”. Drop the news in your name. It’s ridiculous and embarrassing.

He says that now. 🤣

That entire scenario was already resolved. Just keep trying what you can but it’s not going to work. Trump will more than likely be president once again unless democrats cheat and steal the election.

The 🤡 is going down

The dragons in that song.

Thought we went through this already. Can’t dig up any new bimbos to make allegations?

That 15 mins of pleasure is coming back to haunt him…

Why is this amoeba still around anyway. 💩💩💩

He don’t waste his air on headhunting. A porn star and a know felon make their claims, AGAIN. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

IT’s election season again… my news feed will be swamped with propaganda for the next year…

who cares

Fascinating. You’re focus on trump vs the border, crime, inflation, the economy, east Palestine…pathetic. You’re no longer a news organization…you’ve long lost any years of old luster you ever had. Your past anchors are rolling over in their graves.

He’s basically given up. It’s over.

🥴🍊🤡

What about hunters laptop?

Keep hating we’re still voting for him

Arrest him anyone else would be

Lol invitation. I got robbed as a delivery driver for Papa Johns and they arrested me for not showing up to testify. The guy that had the gun pointed at him 🤷🏿‍♂️. I would have loved to decline an invitation

With her testimony and a trace on the money he's stuffed.

Huh? Why on Earth would totally innocent Trumpy not go to the grand jury and show all those dang meanies how totally innocent he is He wants to testify but fake media hides story about how when he showed up, they shot at him with machine guns to keep him away!

Wow that’s old news

'All the best people plead the Fifth. They tell me it's so effective, they thought I wrote it myself, but it was actually James Madison, who was a very, very good friend of mine.'

Trump said he did nothing wrong, yet he won't appear before a grand jury investigating a'hush money' payment made to former adult film star, Stormy Daniels!

❌❌❌Two major Bank Failures , Mexican Drug Cartels,running across our borders with Fentanyl and Human Slavery, all under Joe Biden’s administration. America, now more than ever, understands that 2 years of Joe,is 2 years too long!!👎👎👎👎👎

An 'invitation' you have to be kidding me! It's an inquisition entrapment where the grand jury will ask numerous conflicting & confusing questions in order to entrap Trump into different replies & therefore indict on perjury. Yet quid-pro-quo Joe stumble & mumbles around free!

Dirty hands. Compromised track record. Politely

He's boring. Better news please

Shall we post the video of the NY prosecutor saying she would..get trump !! Before having any evidence? Or shall we just let the media hang themselves?

LMAO, TRUMP'S GUILTY ASS IS SCARED LIKE A MF! 😏😅🤣

Well he's a coward. His MAGA zombies think he's a tough guy but he's just a cowardly low life. Suckers!!

Why are we still wasting time on this?

Invitation. Lol

Prosecuting Trump for Stormy Daniels money would include hurdles, experts sayManhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into Donald Trump’s payment to an alleged mistress in 2016 appears to be wrapping up, but legal experts say it remains unclear what a criminal case against the former president would look like. The man is guilty of sedition and we are going to charge him for paying hush money to a porn star? It’s not criminal! But haters hate! Trump defrauded his voters by using campaign funds to pay hush money to women to suppress information HE thought would prevent him from being elected.
